apologies for a minor thread digression, I can move it later if you'd prefer.
I think you might find it handy though
@ cassus fett
apologies for the tangent (since I derailed the OPs introduction thread, might as well 're-rail'?)
It's benign accidental thread digression.
There are several different visual comparison images and threads out there,
though I can't recommend more Agis Neugebauer's (who I'm happy to say, is a bloomilk user and does visit from time to time)
Agis is a great SWMinis fan - miniatures in general really, and has got a lot of handy how-to's as well as comparison images, on agis' website.
above: a very handy image comparing SWMinis with IA counterparts,
as you can see, IA miniatures compare well with SWminis early sets, though
SWminis become more comparable with Knight Models pewter figures in the later- SWMinis sets,
as SWMinis are themselves made of an inconsistent variable quality throughout the run
though there are also images comparing all known commercially available figure to one-another out there, if you search in Russian or Japanese
those other more exhaustive image-comparison projects are seeking to be able to store
all known miniatures in the one database, so you can compare in-scale, one miniature with another.
it would have front, side, top views, and if one miniature is say 5ft by 3ft, and another is Yoda,
you'd be able to see how they visually look next to one another...
many models and gashapon correctibiru vendors, welcome such a project,
because they feel, it would reduce the returns and clearance rates of models etc. folks would know what they're buying better.
some other factions don't like that concept, 'infudgement this' or 'it'll ruin sales' that... we'll see how those turn out.
